Match notes |
- MCG the first ground to host 75 Tests.
- During the final-wicket partnership (70 in 128 min.), Border and Thomson declined to run 29 comfortable singles.
- IT Botham completes the 1000 runs/100 wicket double against Australia (after claiming the final wicket) in only 22 Tests (a record in Eng.-Aust. series)
- RW Marsh becomes the first Australian to appear in 90 Tests. His total dismissals in this series reaches 27, which surpasses the record of JHB White (S.Afr.), set in 1961-62 against New Zealand (5 matches)
- For the first time in any Test in which all 40 wickets fell, all innings totals were within 10 runs of each other.
